(1982). The Apprenticeship and Blue Collar System. Putting Women on the Right Track. This guide provides a systems approach to increasing the numbers of women in apprenticeships and skilled blue collar jobs. Its components form the Apprenticeship and Blue Collar (ABC) System. This system was developed from the experiences of hundreds of employment and training professionals and from several targeted outreach programs currently assisting women to enter the trades. The chapters, each covering a single component, follow a typical woman's progress through the system, from the first step of outreach and recruitment, through orientation, individual counseling and tutorials, training, referral, job development, and follow-up. Throughout the chapters, advice is given to help employment counselors, women's advocates, and trades recruiters to recruit blue-collar women and conduct workshops and training sessions, with emphasis on overcoming sex stereotypic barriers to nontraditional occupations. A glossary and a list of resources are included in the publication. Appendixes…

(1981). Equity and Vocational Education: Guidelines for the 1980s. A study examined 17 papers dealing with the issue of equity in vocational education. Synthesized during the study were ideas set forth in papers written by individuals involved in the academic community, vocational education, and special interest group advocacy. All the papers, to varying degrees, focus on the barriers posed by vocational delivery systems, financial constraints, employment discrimination, and economic problems to the following special needs groups: disadvantaged persons, disabled persons, limited-English proficient individuals, older adults, members of racial and ethnic minority groups, and men and women who experience sex discrimination. Based on the points raised in these papers, the researcher developed a series of recommendations pertaining to the implementation of Title II of the Education Amendments of 1976; improved communication; and shared responsibility, training of vocational educators and administrators, curricula and services, funding alternatives, and… [PDF]
(1977). Ethnicity and Bicultural Considerations in Psychology: Meeting the Needs of Ethnic Minorities. This paper summarizes the history, philosophy, and recruitment methodology of the American Psychological Association (APA) Minority Fellowship Program. The aim of the program is participation by ethnic minorities in the development of psychology, both as a practicing art and as a science. The APA received a training grant to provide fellowship stipends to ethnic minority students eligible for or attending graduate programs leading to a Ph.D. in psychology. From 1974 through 1977, stipend awards were made to 115 students from 44 institutions. In most cases, student support was cost-shared by the institution. Evidence suggests that even though minority admission is increasing, there continues to be a need to modify existing standards for optimal success of the program. Special student recruitment efforts must be considered; modified interpretation or exclusion of GRE scores for other predictive information is desirable; a support system consisting of a critical mass of ethnic minority… [PDF]
